A formal, pen-influenced display face with softly modulated strokes and frequent tapered terminals. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with gentle swelling on main strokes and hairline-like turns into hooks and teardrop ends. Capitals show prominent swashes and looping entry/exit strokes, while lowercase keeps a readable, rounded skeleton with occasional calligraphic flicks. Spacing feels open and even, and the figures follow the same flowing, slightly ornamental rhythm as the letters.
Well-suited for short to medium-length settings where personality matters: invitations, event materials, boutique branding, chapter openers, pull quotes, and packaging. It reads best at display sizes where the swashes and tapered terminals can remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and decorative with a playful, storybook charm. Its flourishes and curved terminals suggest a polite, traditional voice—more invitation and headline than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to emulate formal calligraphic lettering in a clean, repeatable typographic system—balancing legibility with decorative swashes to create a graceful, traditional display voice.
Many glyphs feature distinctive curled terminals and asymmetric, hand-drawn nuances that create a lively baseline rhythm. The uppercase set is notably more embellished than the lowercase, giving strong contrast between initial capitals and running text.
